Gemstone Rings

Which gemstones are best for an everyday ring?

For rings intended for daily wear, such as engagement or anniversary rings, we recommend harder stones like sapphires and rubies, which rank 9 on the Mohs scale. At our Newton showroom, we can guide you through the durability of various gems—from vibrant emeralds to delicate aquamarines—to ensure your selection fits your lifestyle.

Can I customize a ring with a specific birthstone?

Absolutely. We specialize in personalized jewelry. Whether you are looking for an amethyst for February or a tanzanite for December, our Newton workshop can custom-craft a setting in your choice of gold or platinum to perfectly showcase your meaningful gemstone.

How should I care for my gemstone ring?

Different gemstones require different care; for instance, emeralds are more sensitive to heat and chemicals than sapphires. We recommend bringing your jewelry to our Newton Centre studio for professional cleaning and a prong inspection. In between visits, a gentle solution of mild soap and warm water is generally safe for most stones.

What is the benefit of a bezel setting for a gemstone ring?

A bezel setting surrounds the gemstone with a thin rim of metal, offering maximum protection against chips and snags. This is a popular choice at our Newton workshop for active clients who want to secure their colorful stones while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.
